MeetNotes on Apple Watch

Record the meeting
from your wrist

MeetNotes turns your Apple Watch into a voice recorder with transcription. Tap Record on the watch, the watch face complication or ask Siri, and the watch records the meeting with its own microphone. When you tap Finish the recording goes to MeetNotes by itself, and you get the same result as a phone recording: a transcript with each speaker labelled, plus a summary, decisions and action items. If your iPhone is already recording, the watch becomes its remote.

For: People who can't put a phone on the table: site walks, standing meetings, client visits, interviews on the move, a quick voice note to yourself

Two ways to use it

A recorder on your wrist, or a remote for your phone

Record on the watch

The watch records with its own microphone. Mark a moment you want to find later, pause and resume, then tap Finish. Your phone can stay in your pocket.

Remote for the iPhone

When MeetNotes is recording on your iPhone, the watch shows its timer with Mark, Pause and Finish, so you never have to pick the phone up in the middle of a meeting.

How it works

Set up once, then just tap

01

Install MeetNotes on your iPhone

The watch app comes with the iPhone app. Sign in on the iPhone and open MeetNotes there once, so the watch is connected to your account.

02

Start recording

Tap Record in the watch app, tap the MeetNotes complication on your watch face, or say "Record with MeetNotes" to Siri.

03

Finish

The recording is sent to MeetNotes on its own, even after you close the watch app. A recording made before the watch was connected is handed to your iPhone instead.

04

Read the minutes

Open MeetNotes on your iPhone, Mac or the web: transcript with speaker names, summary, decisions and action items, ready to share as PDF or Word.

Faster starts

One tap, or no tap at all

Watch face complication

Add MeetNotes to your watch face or Smart Stack. One tap opens the app and starts recording.

Siri and Shortcuts

Say "Record with MeetNotes". The same action is in the Shortcuts app, so on Apple Watch Ultra you can put it on the Action button.

Start on iPhone

With MeetNotes open on your iPhone, tap "Start on iPhone" on the watch and the phone starts recording.

Before you record

Tell people you are recording

Let everyone in the meeting know it is being recorded, and follow the rules that apply where you are. See recording consent in India for one example.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I record a meeting on my Apple Watch?

Yes. Open MeetNotes on the watch and tap Record, tap the complication, or say "Record with MeetNotes" to Siri. The watch records with its own microphone, and when you tap Finish you get a transcript, summary, decisions and action items in MeetNotes.

Does the Apple Watch app transcribe the recording?

The watch records and sends the recording to MeetNotes; the transcript with speaker names and the minutes appear in the MeetNotes app on your iPhone, Mac and the web, the same as for a phone recording.

Do I need my iPhone with me?

The watch app is a companion to the MeetNotes iPhone app and needs it installed and signed in. Once the iPhone has connected the watch to your account, a watch recording is sent to MeetNotes on its own when you finish.

Can the watch control a recording on my iPhone?

Yes. While the iPhone is recording, the watch shows the timer and lets you Mark, Pause, Resume and Finish. To start the iPhone recorder from the watch, MeetNotes has to be open on the iPhone.

Which Apple Watch models work?

MeetNotes on Apple Watch needs watchOS 10 or later.

Is it free?

Every account starts with 100 free minutes, and a watch recording uses minutes the same way a phone recording does.
